I want to know how to show cost of flat received in IT return after redevelopment

My old flat was given by society for redevelopment to builder on 20 October 2015 & I received allotment of new flat on 7th March 2020.

How do I show cost of new flat in ITR return for FY 2019-2020

Original Flat was transferred in my name in FY 2012-2013 & Cost of acquisition with indexation was Rs 24,83,089/-

I have not received sale agreement from Builder for new flat alloted to me.

What Documents, I need to get from builder & how do I show this transaction in IT return

2. was the cost of redevelopment incurred by you?

3. were there any transfer and retransfer agreements with the builder?

2. Full Cost of redevelopment was incurred by builder

3.There was agreement between Builder, Society & myself for transfer of Rights to builder for all flats in society & at the time of agreement for Alternate Accommodation, New flat number to be allocated was mentioned & I received same flat number

I think the consideration paid to the builder for construction may be taken as cost of improvement at the time os sale. as of now no need to show in return as it is a capital expenditure and cannot be allowed as deduction from revenue income.

plz have the details of cost paid to builder for your divided portion of flat for claiming such improvement.

Also keep a copy of agreement for development and re-allotment. I guess it's sufficient.

let's see if someone suggests more dox to be maintained.
